Advice on best way to do a distributed type application??

Hello,

I need to launch an exe on any number of computers based a DB setting.

I've read up on Webservices, Windows Services and Remoting. But I'm not sure which one is the best to use.

My task is as simple as above, I set a DB field to a value and if that value corresponds to a particular computer on the network then an exe on that computer will be launched.

My current thinking is to write a windows service to monitor the DB for the value and then launch the exe process. However, that means that I'd have to install the service on each computer.

Would Remoting allow me to bypass having to install the wserv on each computer? Or what about the web service?

Any pointers appreciated.

Thanks!
